This program will indeed convert any given file to video data and back again. The idea of this project is to enable a way to store data on a VHS player However, my VHS player broke before i had the chance to test the code so until i get a new VHS player, this code will remain a concept. The code itself does work, you can convert files to video and back to a file again.

This program requires opencv4, i'm pretty sure opencv3 would work too, but i have not tried it yet. to install opencv on ubuntu run: sudo apt-get update then: sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

you will also need the g++ compiler, however i believe this comes default in ubuntu.

run compile.sh for both the file converter and the video converter. This can be done by running the following commands from the home directory of the project: sh file-to-video/compile.sh sh video-to-file/compile.sh

once compiled, run the program by running the following commands from the home directory of the project: To convert a file to video data: ./file-to-video/convert-file

To convert a video back to a file: ./video-to-file/convert-video

If you encouter a problem with the code, submit a issue to the git repository and i will awnser as soon as i can.

I would like to add multithreading sometime in the future.
